University of Pittsburgh's Katz Graduate School Organizational Behavior PhD Program Video
The OBHR doctoral program focuses on preparing students to impact the study of people, process and outcomes within the fields of organizational behavior and human resources management. Through research, collaboration and dissemination of knowledge, students understand how to impact organizational effectiveness in a variety of different environments, industries and across multiple levels of analyses. Our expectation is that students within the OBHR major will craft a program of research that is built upon rigorous theory as well as strong methodological skills that are both necessary for effective scholarship. We encourage collaboration with OBHR faculty that has a proven track record of publishing within a variety of top outlets (Academy of Management Journal, Academy of Management Review, Journal of Organizational Behavior, Journal of Personality and Social Psychology, Journal of Labor Research, Harvard Business Review; Human Resource Management; Industrial and Labor Relations Review; Sloan Management Review).

Organizational Behavior/Human Resources Management PhD Program Curriculum
Behavior Systems and Management Thought
The objective of this course is to explore the evolution and development of management theory with particular emphasis on the design of behavioral systems in organizations. It is a core premise of the course that the design of systems to manage people in organizations is based on a set of assumptions about humans that are part of the managerial theory that guides the formation and operation of complex organizations. Management theory and the models of human beings that are incorporated in them need not be formally articulated statements. They are often implicit as values,…...

...Institutional holding and market friction
Ping-Wen Sun Louisiana State University psun1@lsu.edu Abstract This study investigates the relationship between the institutional holding and the stock’s market friction measure. According to Sun’s (2007) findings, I use Hou and Moskowitz’s (2005) price delay measure (D1) and Liu’s (2006) liquidity measure (LM12) to proxy for a stock’s market friction. I find that a higher total institutional holding tends to decrease a stock’s price delay measure, but institutional holding exhibits a U-shaped relationship with a stock’s LM12 measure. However, as the number of institutions increases, the stock’s market friction decreases. In terms of different types of institutional holdings, higher total block holding or higher top five institutional holding of a stock increases a stock’s market friction level. Furthermore, in contrast to Agarwal’s (2007) findings, higher independent long term institutional holding and risk averse institutional holding tends to decrease a stock’s market friction level.

...A doctorate PhD in Accounting will earn you the title of “doctor.” A PhD program can be significantly more demanding than a Master’s degree, which is why most accountants finish their Master’s degree before committing to a PhD grogram. Some schools lump a Master’s degree and PhD into one continuous program, which may save time in the long run. Teaching looks like it would be fun, you see that some professors are only on campus two days a week, and you have heard that professors get paid well. What could possibly be the down side? Unlike other accounting programs, getting a PhD means significant sacrifice and delay while earning your degree. A PhD accounting program takes, on average, 4-7 years to complete. You will have to complete 2-3 years of coursework. Each seminar in your coursework explores a different area of accounting and challenges you to think about it more deeply and examine it from all angles.
After completing coursework, students must produce independent projects and a thesis. While the coursework can be easily mapped out on a timeline, the dissertation is what draws out most students' pursuit of a PhD. Finishing a dissertation in 2-3 years is possible with hard work and dedication. The sacrifice of a PhD in Accounting comes in with your reduced work abilities. Due to the intense nature of a PhD program in Accounting, most students are unable to work more than part-time; many do not work at all. Many just take on research assistantships or teaching......

...Draft Proposal for PhD Research
(Working) Title
An analysis of accessibility support demands in electronic learning systems in the context of Higher Education Information Services.
Your reasons and purposes for undertaking this project
This programme of study continues personal research and professional practice in the field of Information Science, particularly within the area of end-user systems accessibility.
Within Higher Education, there is evidence of constant innovation and changing approaches to provision of online services; however, the wide ranging and long term issue of user accessibility has clearly become a secondary consideration. My PhD research should underpin improved provision of accessible systems for adult learners who are disabled (as defined by the Disability Discrimination Act and amendments).
Your research project
Most recently, the VLE (Virtual Learning Environment) has become an important feature of electronic service delivery within the HE Information Services sector, demanding close attention to issues of functionality, sustainability and usability. Whilst some research has begun to examine the functionality of e-learning systems, little attention has been paid to usability issues, in particular to the accessibility of complex Web based interfaces for disabled users. Standards for achieving accessibility via technical specifications and interface design have been established for the conventional Web, however, it......

...The Pendulum of PhD Student Role Identity

The Pendulum of PhD Student Role Identity
Bansel (2011) noted that as citizens traverse through life, each individual develops a framework of his or her own role identity and how the interpretation of identity interacts within the interpersonal, societal, and academic landscape (pp. 544). This development of role identity owes its genesis to the social-psychological disciplines as emergent and ephemeral rather than a static concept (p. 550). Jazvac-Martek (2009) asserted that the defining of academic identities is integral to the pursuit of all aspects of life but especially salient when focused on the PhD student, an area that lacks significant research and data (pp. 253-554). Barnacle and Mewburn (2010) contend that what the PhD track commitment requires, as a lifestyle, is an evolution in how we as students see ourselves and how we see our emerging roles in society (pp. 433-444).
Jazvac-Martek (2009) compares the doctoral student’s journey is a transformative “rite-of-passage” for those who seek to embed academic inquiry into every aspect of his or her life and utilize the knowledge gleaned to further the common good of society as scholar-practitioners (pp. 253-262). According to Jazvac-Martek (2009), she reported that there needs to be perspicuous and prescribed support structures in doctoral education so that the doctoral students may come to understand his or her identity......

SUMMARY
In our community study of the prevalence of psychiatric disorders among elderly South Asian immigrants from the
Indian sub-continent (India, Pakistan and Bangladesh) living in Bradford (UK), we found depression in 20%,
dementia in 4% and anxiety neurosis in 4%. Subjects were interviewed at their place of residence by a consultant
psychiatrist familiar with their culture and language. The Hindi translation of the community version of the Geriatric
Mental State schedule (GMS-A) was also administered. Psychiatrist's ICD-9 diagnosis was compared with
GMS±AGECAT computerized diagnosis. We found low-level agreement in dementia cases (kappa 0.33) whereas the
agreement in subjects with depression was high (kappa 0.81). In many subjects GMS-A made a diagnosis of dementia
not diagnosed as cases by the psychiatrist, who had the bene®t of additional history information from carers in this
population from a dierent culture and educational background. These ®ndings are discussed along with suggestions
and present limitations of GMS-A in the diagnosis of dementia in cross-cultural research.......

...6 In my opinion Hope was not justified in deciding that the costs were for tooling modifications. There was not sufficient evidence to come to this conclusion, just some complicated explanations from USSC and inaccurate purchase orders and invoices. The evidence was not relevant to the audit objective. The specific products with modifications should have been traced back to their purchase orders. Instead the auditors just took the explanation of these orders from management. Finally the reliability of the evidence was not high, USSC had a lot to lose if it was concluded that they were indeed general production and the General Manger for Lacey had changed his position numerous times. The only reliable evidence was that of the independent law firm that concluded the purchase orders and invoices were not for tooling modifications.
5 The evidence that hope collected that supports USSC's claim that the charges in question were in fact for tooling modifications was the General Manager of Lacey Corporation (A division of Barden Corporation) goes back on his previous statement and confirms that the purchase orders and invoices were in fact for tooling modifications. USSC explained their position and said that they had instructed Lacey to make certain tooling changes that would result in improved efficiency in production of USSC products. When the audit team asked to take a tour of the Lacey plant to examine the actual production process the Lacey General Manger informed the audit...
